Mahatma Gandhi (Great Soul) was born in Porbandar, 1869, and died in 1948, when a Hindu nationalist assassinated him.

He studied law in London and practised as a barrister for a while before settling in South Africa. Here he opposed racial discrimination in the Indian Community, which he lived until 1914.

As an Indian Nationalist Leader, he led the struggle for Indian independence from the UK by advocating nonviolent noncooperation from 1915. He organized hunger strikes and events of civil disobedience and campaigned for social reform.

His protest march in 1930 inspired widespread demonstrations. He was imprisoned several times by British authorities and was highly influential in the Nationalist Congress Party and the independence negotiations in 1947.
